Say we are dealing with row 1 and the cell in question is A1.

Format > Conditinal Formatting... > Formula is > =$A$1=true

Hi

This will change the cell to yellow but i need to be able to change the
WHOLE row to yellow.

Hi again.

I've tried selecting the whole row, even the whole sheet but it still only
highlights the individual cells and not the whole row.

Sorry to be a pest

OK you never said WHICH cell so I will assume you want to color row 3 if
cell b3 =3
1. Select the row number at the left
2. format>conditional format>FORMULA is>=$b$3=3>format as desired.

You may have missed the earlier reply from Gary's Student:
Format > Conditional Formatting... > Formula is > =$A$1=true

You need to use "Formula Is", not "Cell Value Is".
If you want to copy the formatting from row to row, but apply the format to
all columns, you may need:
Format > Conditional Formatting... > Formula is > =A$1=true
(with A1 being the active cell when you apply the CF)

Me again

So how do I do this to select more than one row at a time

e.g.

If rows A1, A4, A5, A10 etc. all contrain TRUE
